Beta-alanine: 4 things about the acid that improves punch power

1. Beta-alanine supplementation has been found to improve punching performance

BETA-ALANINE supplementation increases muscle carnosine stores that subsequently buffer the metabolic acidosis associated with high-intensity exercise. This in turn potentially prolongs the onset of muscle fatigue, thereby improving repeated high-intensity punching force and frequency.
